UPDATE 2/10/2021 2:30 PM MST: No, you didn’t miss it. For undisclosed reasons, the sale was postponed. No news on the updated pre-order date. Mike Mayhew announced it himself via Instagram:
Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 9, 2021, at 9 am Pacific Standard Time/ 12 PM Eastern, Mike Mayhew will open up pre-orders for his dazzling Star Wars High Republic #3 exclusive variant featuring the first cover appearance of The High Republic’s big bad, Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil! You can grab one over here at Mikemayhewstudio.com.
You can try your luck on the Ebay secondary market if you strike out on Wednesday.
This is interesting news to me because this will be Marchion Ro’s first cover appearance on a comic book. We know from my first appearance and key issue tracking that Marchion Ro already made a cameo on the last page of Star Wars High Republic Adventures #1 (IDW). Star Wars High Republic #3 has an official street date of March 3, 2021, the same day as Star Wars High Republic Adventures #2. So far, no covers for Adventures #2 show Marchion Ro. It’s very likely his first full interior appearance is in Adventures #2, but this will be his first cover.
Star Wars High Republic Adventures #3 features Marchion Ro with his new helmet on the cover and releases April 7, 2021.
